Willian has revealed that his dream of playing for Chelsea was behind his decision to snub a move to Tottenham in the summer of 2013.
The Brazilian was on the brink of signing for Spurs in a £30million deal from Anzhi Makhachkala after undergoing a medical and agreeing personal terms.
But after being approached by then Blues boss Jose Mourinho, Willian turned down the deal and instead moved to Stamford Bridge on a five-year contract.
He has gone on to become a fans' favourite in west London, winning the club's Player of the Year and Players' Player of the Year awards last season.
